Aaron Rodgers trade talks between Jets, Packers stalled after NFL owners meeting: report

The New York Jets are at a standstill with the Green Bay Packers over a trade involving Aaron Rodgers, and while one report on Wednesday signaled that owner Woody Johnson wasn’t on board with the terms of a potential deal involving high draft picks, another report revealed that two sides haven’t spoken in weeks. 

ESPN’s Adam Schefter said on "NFL Live" that the Jets and Packers haven’t spoken since the NFL Owners’ Annual League Meeting in Phoenix last month, which came just over a week after Rodgers had publicly announced his intentions to play for New York next season. 

"My understanding is there hasn’t been a whole lot of conversation, if any, over the last couple of weeks going back to the owners meetings," Schefter said.

PACKERS' IDEAL TRADE PACKAGE FOR AARON RODGERS FROM JETS REVEALED: REPORT

"And so both sides now appear to be dug in, and we’ll see whether or not anything changes as we head up to the draft." 

ESPN’s Mike Greenberg also reported Tuesday on "The Pat McAfee Show" that Rodgers has signaled to the Jets not to "rush" on making a deal. 

"I’ve heard that Aaron has sent signals to the Jets that there’s no reason for them to rush, that he’s not coming until May anyway. So they’re not missing out on anything right now. So they should hold out as long as it takes and that ultimately they won’t wind up having to trade the 13th pick in the draft, which is what I think this ultimately comes down to."

Details surrounding a potential trade offer were also revealed Wednesday but did not include a first-round pick in this year's draft. 

According to Yahoo Sports' Charles Robinson, the Packers are looking for a second-round pick in this year’s draft and a first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, and they are willing to offer draft compensation if Rodgers does retire after the 2023 season. 

But Robinson reported that Johnson is hesitant over offering a first-round pick at all following the fallout from the Russel Wilson blockbuster trade with the Denver Broncos. 

The Rodgers saga continues to take turns with no real movement. 

Jets general manager Joe Douglas offered reassurances last week that Rodgers would be in New York next season, while Packers president Mark Murphy said Tuesday that he was "actively involved" in talks but that there was "nothing more to add" on the situation as it stands.

Virginia teacher shot by 6-year-old honored by state Senate

A Virginia teacher who was shot and wounded in her first-grade classroom by a 6-year-old student was honored Wednesday by the state Senate for her "heroic actions" in hustling students to safety despite having life-threatening injuries.

Zwerner, 25, stood with her twin sister, brother and mother as she was given a framed resolution commending her for her devotion to the safety of her students after the shooting at Richneck Elementary School in Newport News on Jan. 6.

Police have said that after Zwerner was the last one to leave the classroom and collapsed in a school office. No one else was hurt.

Zwerner spent two weeks in the hospital. She has since had four surgeries and is still recovering from wounds to her hand and chest. No one else was hurt.

"She truly is one of Virginia’s great heroes, and I have enormous admiration for her," said Senate Minority Leader Tommy Norment, a Republican.

VIRGINIA CRIMINAL PROBE CENTERS ON 'ACTIONS OR OMISSIONS' OF SCHOOL EMPLOYEES AFTER TEACHER SHOT BY 6-YEAR-OLD

Last week, Zwerner filed a $40 million lawsuit against the school system, accusing school officials of ignoring multiple warnings from teachers and other school employees that the boy had brought a gun to school on the day of the shooting.

Zwerner's lawsuit also alleges that school officials knew the boy "had a history of random violence," including an episode when he "strangled and choked" his kindergarten teacher.

On Monday, a grand jury indicted the boy's mother on charges of felony child neglect and misdemeanor endangering a child by reckless storage of a firearm. The child used his mother’s 9 mm handgun to shoot Zwerner. Police say the weapon was purchased legally.

Prosecutors have also filed a petition seeking a special grand jury to investigate whether the "actions or omissions" of any school employees could lead to criminal charges. Howard Gwynn, the commonwealth’s attorney in Newport News, wants the grand jury to probe whether any "security failures" contributed to the shooting.
